Ipswich is one of the most beautiful towns in the state of Massachusetts with expansive beaches, forests, farmland, country estates, and winding rivers as well as gorgeous architecture and history. The Ispwich River Ramble is an enjoyable flat route with a few short hills, one of which allows you to visit the Crane Estate on Castle Hill. One section on State Route 1A can be busy and congested but the rest of the route is on quieter country roads. On this ride you will visit Crane Beach, Castle Hill which features a grand estate and stunning views, ramble through vast salt marshes, tour open farmland, and border a section of the Ipswich River.
